Abstract

Skin tags are very common skin tumors in middle age. In spite of their frequent occurrence, there was no reported cases of verruca vulgaris developing on the soft fibroma. We report a case of verruca vulgaris developing on the bag-like skin tag. We think that the incidence of HPV infection on the large skin tags may be higher than on normal skin due to their protrusion and repetitive irritation.
